our friend lcp (luana rec., re:st - soundcloud) from bern has been chasing records for one and a half decade now, and there seems to be no end in the foreseeable future. always into the cushy mind bending stuff, he’s also a part of the semi-monthly radio show “unerhörtes - ungehörtes” on radio rabe. a broadcast that takes care of anything experimental or rather unusual. besides spinning weird sh*t on the radio, he tries to support artists and feed their respective fans with the two small labels "luana records" and "relationreset" a.k.a. "re:st". - this edition of our podcast will be literally home-made; a quiet and decent completion of a busy and moving year 2014!
